-=== Distribution of Padre ===
-
-The primary distribution channel of Padre is CPAN. Hence for every release first we create a CPAN distribution of Padre. (See above).
-
-Based on the CPAN package Gabor release [wiki:BuildingOnPortableStrawberry Padre on Portable Strawberry]. 
-
-Later, based on the CPAN package the downstream distributors create their .deb and .rpm etc.
-
-Plans:
- * Stand-alone executable for
- * * Linux.
- * * Windows
- * * Mac
-
- * Packaging Padre in the various distributions such as Debian, Fedora, Mandriva, Ubuntu or FreeBSD
- * Chocolate Perl should include Padre with various plug-ins

+=== Distribution of Padre ===
+
+The primary distribution channel of Padre is CPAN. Hence for every release first we create a CPAN distribution of Padre. (See above).
+
+Based on the CPAN package the downstream distributors (Debian, Fedora, Mandriva, FreeBSD etc.) create their .deb, .rpm etc. files.
+
+For Windows:
+
+There is a Dist::Perl::Padre in the works that will allow us to create a Perl distribution that has padre already installed.
+At one point we might be able to install this distribution independently from any other perl installation on the same machine. 
+That  will mean the 'production perl' of the user and the perl needed by Padre does not need to be the same.
+
+For Linux/Unix/BSD:
+
+There is a plan to creat a Dist::Perl::XL which would be a full version of perl with Padre (and possibly other things) installed and zipped.
+Users will be able to download it, unzip it and run padre from that perl. They will be able to use either the perl that came with Padre
+or any other perl as their 'production perl'.
+Primarily we try to make this work for Linux.
+
+For Mac:
+
+No idea. Maybe the above Dist::Perl::XL will work there too.
+
+
+PAR based executable: We have tried to make a PAR based executable but there is a complex
+issue that currently stops us (ORLite::Migrate and PAR not working well together) See #294 and #399
